CGS(SH:601881) Xin Hua Cai Jing·2025-06-29 06:10Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report indicates that COMEX gold prices are expected to steadily break through $3,300 per ounce, with a potential to reach $3,500 per ounce under extreme risk scenarios [1] - In the third quarter, if geopolitical tensions continue to escalate, WTI oil prices may hit $75 per barrel due to transportation bottlenecks and seasonal demand [1] - By the fourth quarter, as demand weakens and OPEC+ resumes supply increases, WTI oil prices are projected to return to around $60 per barrel [1] Group 2 - The report highlights three major uncertainties for the second half of 2025: first, tariff disruptions, where U.S. tariff policies may reshape international order and global power structures, leading to potential re-imposition of tariffs post-agreement [1] - Second, credit reconstruction is noted, with the U.S. debt reaching $36.1 trillion and over 30% of short-term external debt, raising liquidity risks and questioning the dollar's credit system [1] - Third, geopolitical risks are emphasized, particularly with the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, which could lead to increased oil prices and global shipping costs, resulting in new structural re-evaluations of asset prices [1] Group 3 - In terms of global macroeconomic outlook, the report suggests that major economies are experiencing structural deceleration rather than typical recession, with the U.S. economy expected to transition slowly and steadily [2] - It is anticipated that the Federal Reserve may implement two rate cuts totaling 50 basis points in the second half of 2025, likely in September and December, unless inflation remains resilient or growth data is strong [2]
